You can now order a 2017 Yamaha R1M

YAMAHA’S R1M ordering system is now live, so if you’ve flogged that kidney / significant other / child, now is the time your decisive action could start to pay off.

The R1Ms produced for 2017 will cost £19,399 each - £650 more than the previous run.

If you’ve got your eye on one, click here to go to Yamaha’s online ordering system and stick your name down. Going on how quickly the 2015 and 2016 batches sold out, you might have to be quick as there’s a good chance they’ll all be gone before the ordering system closes on February 28 next year.

Everyone who buys a 2017 R1M gets an invite to one of Yamaha’s two-day long Yamaha Riding Experience Days which take place next summer at circuits all over Europe and cover bike set up, plus classroom and track tuition from famous names.
